Understanding Inbound Status Flow


Article summary

When your product is in the Inbound process, it will move through various stages, each identified by a specific Status.

 This diagram shows how a shipment may progress through Canary7. Unlike outbound status flow, all of these statuses are required.

Check-in Pending Status

Check-in Pending is the default initial status an Item is assigned once a receipt is uploaded onto Canary 7 and it is awaiting to undergo the Receiving Process.

How to use Receiving

Locating Pending Status

The Locating Pending status is when the system determines where your product will be stored in the warehouse. How an item is located to a location is defined by the Locating Rule assigned to the item.

Please find an example of a sequence of Locating Rules below:

  • Step 1: Consolidate item with a location that already contains item UOM.

  • Step 2: Place item in an empty location.

  • Step 3: Location determined as per user selection (Manual input).

If no location is available, the status will transition to "Locating Failed".

Putaway Pending Status

The Putaway Pending status is when the product is assigned a location within the warehouse and awaiting the user to complete the Putaway Job Execution. This typically see's items being transferred physically from a temporary goods-in location, to the desired location within the warehouse.

How to use Putaway Job Execution

Closed Status

The Closed Status happens automatically after the product has been Putaway into the designated storage location and now the Inbound process is now complete.
